The map above shows what the world would look like if you removed all countries in the world with over 50 million people.

The remaining countries would have a combined population of just 1.8 billion, a decline of 75% from the over 8 billion who are alive today.

But the earth would only lose 67,569,201 sq km (26,088,614 sq miles) of land or around 45% of the earth’s total land area.

Spain becomes the world’s most populous country with 49,077,984 people. And Canada would become the world’s largest country by area and 7th most populous.

The map above shows the locations of Nazi Germany’s concentration & death camps between 1941 and 1944.

From the maps author:

The map shows key German concentration and death camps from 1941 to 1944, marked with red and black squares. It covers Nazi Germany and occupied territories, including present-day Poland and Austria.

Major camps like Auschwitz (1940), Dachau (1933), Treblinka (1942), and Bergen-Belsen (1940) are labeled with their founding years. The map highlights the scale of the Nazi camp system during World War II.

During the Holocaust’s Final Solution, Nazi Germany established six extermination camps to carry out the systematic genocide of the Jews in territories under its control.

All of these camps were situated in the General Government area of occupied Poland—except for Chelmno, which was located in the Reichsgau Wartheland area of German-occupied Poland to better hide their crimes.

Here is a list of the death camp locations.
